New CAT3 midpoint and stopend RVR requirements

On October 30th 2022 updated requirements on All Weather Operations have come into effect according to EASA regulation (EU) 2021/2237.
According to the new requirements CATIIIA, CATIIIB and CATIIIC no longer exist as separate categories.
For an operator who has previously been certified for CATIIIA only (DH 50ft, RVR 200m) there used to be different minimum RVR requirements applicable for the midpoint and stopend zone (midpoint used to be 125m (or 75m if equipped with rollout guidance), stopend 75m).

What happened to these midpoint and stopend requirements? As it is described in manuals and checklist notes now it seems that ONLY the touchdown zone RVR is relevant and limiting. There is no mention of any midpoint and/or stopend RVR requirement anymore, leading to the assumption that an approach can be completed even if midpoint and/or stopend RVR are/is zero.

Is this so, or am I missing something here?

Looking forward to your educated inputs!
